Definitions
- the invention generally relates to data storage and, more specifically, the invention relates to sanitization of disks using encryption.
- a hard drive typically comprises many addressable “blocks,” or individual units of data.
- a file or other logical data storage unit typically comprises data written to the blocks and an entry in a file structure that includes pointers that point to the blocks storing the data.
- the delete function of many file systems only removes the pointers; the data itself remains intact.
- Even after a low-level format of a hard drive, data stored on the drive may be recoverable.
- sanitization involves making the data blocks on the disk unreadable so that sensitive data is unrecoverable.
- Several techniques for “sanitizing” a magnetic disk are known today.
- One way to sanitize a hard drive is to physically destroy the drive.
- the drive may be dismantled or otherwise physically altered.
- Another physical method is to degauss the disk by applying a powerful alternating magnetic field to the disk. The degaussing technique changes the orientation of the magnetic particles on the disk platter.
- the drive If the drive is to be reused, it can be sanitized by writing over the data already on the disk. This approach is known as “media overwrite” sanitization. Media overwrite sanitization may be as simple as writing logic zeros to every bit on a drive, or writing different predetermined or random patterns to the drive. Writing over the drive once is known as a “single pass” overwrite. Writing over the drive multiple times is known as “multiple pass” overwrite. Different users require different levels of sanitization. For example, a user storing sensitive information, such as confidential trade secrets, may want to perform a greater number of passes.
- a pattern is the sequence of bits (ones and zeros) that is written to the drive in order to prevent recovery of deleted data.
- the “Guttman” pattern is an example of a pattern used by many hard drive sanitization applications.
- different patterns may be used for each pass. For example, the first pass may use a particular pattern, where the second pass may use the pattern's complement, and the third pass may use random data.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a system 100 that can be used for storing data.
- the system 100 includes a storage server 102 that manages a volume 104 which comprises one or more physical magnetic drives.
- the data stored in the volume 104 is encrypted.
- the encrypted data can only be accessed using an appropriate encryption key, which can be a random series of bits (typically between 40 and 512 bits) used to encode the data stored on the volume 104 .
- the clients 106 may access the volume 104 , to read to write data, through a cryptographic interface 108 and the storage server 102 .
- the read and write requests and associated data are encrypted and decrypted by the cryptographic interface 108 .
- the volume 104 can be sanitized by discarding the encryption key, since the data on the volume 104 is unreadable without they key, and typical encryption standards (such as the advanced encryption standard (AES) encryption standards including AES-256 and AES-512) are computationally infeasible to compromise with currently existing technology. Removing the cryptographic interface 108 would provide further protection against undesired recovery of the deleted (encrypted) data.
- AES advanced encryption standard
- a shortcoming of known sanitization techniques and system 100 is that they sanitize only at a disk-wide level of granularity.
- the entire device e.g., the entire disk drive
- storage users that are subject to government regulations regarding the retention of data may want to delete and sanitize only the particular files that the users are permitted to delete.
- the regulations may require that the user retain the other files.
- the cryptographic interface 108 undesirably introduces additional hardware between the storage server 102 and the clients 106 .
- the present invention includes a method and apparatus for disk sanitization using encryption.
- the method includes encrypting data stored on a disk, including a set of blocks, by using a first encryption key.
- the method further includes, in response to a request to delete the set of blocks, re-encrypting blocks stored on the disk other than the set of blocks, by using a second encryption key, and not re-encrypting the set of blocks, and deleting the first encryption key.

- the disk on which the files are located is divided into physical disk regions, where each region can include one or more blocks of data.
- the contents of the disk are encrypted using a separate encryption key for each physical disk region (which can mean a separate encryption key for each block, if a region is defined as a single block).
- a file or other data structure located in a first disk region and encrypted using a first encryption key is to be deleted, the logical portions (i.e., blocks) of that region that do not belong to the file are re-encrypted using a second encryption key, and the first encryption key is then deleted.

- the bus system 306 may include, for example, a system bus, a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, a HyperTransport or industry standard architecture (ISA) bus, a small computer system interface (SCSI) bus, a universal serial bus (USB), or an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard 1394 bus (sometimes referred to as “Firewire”).
- PCI Peripheral Component Interconnect
- ISA HyperTransport or industry standard architecture
- SCSI small computer system interface
- USB universal serial bus
- IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
- the processor 302 is the central processing unit (CPU) of the filer 300 and, thus, controls the overall operation of the filer 300 . In certain embodiments, the processor 302 accomplishes this by executing software stored in main memory 304 .
- the processor 302 may be, or may include, one or more programmable general-purpose or special-purpose microprocessors, digital signal processors (DSPs), programmable controllers, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), or the like, or a combination of such devices.

- the IC storing the master key 316 may implement physical security and tamper resistant measures, such as being encased in epoxy, to prevent compromise of the stored encryption key.
- the master key 316 contains a master encryption key that is used to encrypt the cryptographic key database 210 . Since the master key 316 is a hardware component, the cryptographic key database 210 cannot be accessed by any system other than the system 200 . Further, since the master key 316 cannot be removed and used in another system, the data encrypted using the master key 316 will remain secure.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the operating system 308 of the filer 300 of FIG. 3 , according to certain embodiments of the invention.
- the operating system 308 includes a number of layers.

- the encryption keys are stored in the cryptographic key database 210 (see FIG. 2 ), which may be stored on the disk 500 .
- the cryptographic key database is encrypted using the master key 316 (see FIG. 3 ).
- Each disk region 502 may further be divided into smaller physical denominations, such as blocks.
- a first disk region 502 a comprises several blocks 504 .
- Each block 504 may be a file or a portion of a file, such as a 4 Kbyte segment of a file. Note that a region 502 can also be defined as a single block.
- a file is a logical structure that includes pointers to physical blocks on the disk 500 .
- the data comprising the file ‘A’ is stored in the blocks 504 c , 504 d , and 504 e .
- the file system follows several pointers to the blocks 504 c , 504 d , and 504 e .

- the file ‘C’ is stored in the two nonadjacent blocks 504 g and 504 i .
- a file may include blocks from several disk regions 502 .
- the file ‘A’ is described in terms of the three blocks 504 c , 504 d , and 504 e.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart describing a process 600 for deleting a file and sanitizing a file, in accordance with the technique introduced here.
- the process 600 will be described with reference to the example of FIG. 5 .
- the process 600 is described in terms of a file ‘A’ stored in three blocks 504 c , 504 d , and 504 e in a first disk region 502 a .
- the first disk region 502 a is encrypted using a first encryption key that is stored in the cryptographic key database 210 (see FIG. 2 ).
- a delete command is received by the operating system 208 (see FIG. 2 ).
- the delete command may be issued by a user, an application, a system process, etc.
- an application may want to delete certain data at specific times.
- a compliant data storage system may want to delete compliant data as soon as it expires.
- the delete command may be issued to delete a file or other data structure.
- a request to delete the file ‘A’ is received by the operating system 308 (see FIG. 3 ).
- the file ‘A’ occupies the set of blocks 504 c , 504 d , and 504 e .
- Other files have data stored in the remaining set of blocks 504 a , 504 b , and 504 f - 504 i .
- a file can be stored using blocks in more than one disk region 502 . However, the file ‘A’ is shown stored in only the first disk region 502 a for clarity.
- the remaining set of blocks in disk region 502 a i.e., blocks 502 a , 502 b , and 504 f - 504 i , but not blocks 504 c , 504 d and 504 e
- the blocks are first decrypted using the first encryption key, and then encrypted using the new encryption key.
- the blocks 504 c - 504 e comprising the file ‘A’ are not re-encrypted.
- the first encryption key is deleted, and the blocks 504 c - 504 e representing the file are marked as available, so that they may be overwritten.
- the first encryption key is deleted by overwriting the key in the cryptographic key database.
- the first encryption key may be overwritten using any one of several known techniques, including using any one of the well-known patterns (such as a “Guttman” pattern), writing zeroes over the key (“zeroing” the key), etc.
- the first encryption key may be overwritten only once, since the data that comprises an encryption key must be completely intact to be useful. Therefore, more robust sanitization techniques may not be necessary.
- the cryptographic key database is encrypted using the master key 316 (see FIG. 3 ).
- the master key 316 is physically located within the system 300 of FIG. 3 , and therefore a user or client must have access to the system 300 to gain access to the first encryption key. If a malicious user only has access to the disk 500 (see FIG. 5 ), the user will be unable to decrypt the cryptographic key database, and therefore will be unable to obtain the first encryption key. Once the first encryption key is discarded, the file ‘A’ has been sanitized, even though the blocks 504 c - 504 e may not have been overwritten, since the data stored in the disk region 502 a is unreadable without the first encryption key.
- NAS network attached storage
- SAN storage area network
- a SAN is a highly efficient network of interconnected, shared storage devices.
- the storage server (which may be an appliance) provides a remote host with block-level access to stored data
